Pouch Riding Warriors vs the Other Guys (Utah) 11/21/14

[Jester_]

Jazz fan here. I'm not sure how the Warriors became an elite defensive team, but they are. Jazz coughed up a lot of junk and the Ws were running out. Surprisingly good passing team too. The way Steph is orchestrating right now is close to Steve Nash-MVP good.

Having 4 all-NBA calibre defenders on one roster can do that

Barnes with another solid game and top 3/4 performance. We aren't just winning games, we are dominating games with him as a starter. The team is much better overall then it was last year and Barnes is contributing to that change nicely. Lol @ the people that said he couldn't work on his dribbling. That cross and go (that's he's always had in his arsenal to be honest) is coming along nicely and it's obvious he's been working to refine his game.

Wow, that pick & roll lob at 5:30 is just freakin' gorgeous.

It's actually the defense that get's me fired up the most.

There was a stretch in the first half where Utah was able to get perhaps two uncontested comfortable shots that they wanted. Warriors basically gave them nothing for the first half.....dominated the glass....

One thing Green and Barnes are really doing well is rebound the defensive boards when Bogut goes for the block.

Let me say something about that. We've all harped on Curry's lazy one handed passes.

Question: Who in the NBA can make that pass? Who can dribble left and hoist an on target left handed alley oop?

Yep. They smothered Utah.

My gripe with Utah offense is they should have cleared out and fed Kanter down low to exploit Green. They did it on the first play and Kanter missed the shot and they didn't go back to it much after that.

When we let go Don Nelson and his loverboys Keith Smart and Larry Riley.

Larry Riley's bust will reside right next to Dave Twardzik's.

ME TOO! Love this defense. Credit to the players no doubt, but I love the Ron Adams hiring. I can't stop saying how good of a defensive coach he is and how much fun he's going to have with so many defensive toys on this Golden State Warriors roster. I mean you have Andrew Bogut, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Festus Ezeli, Shaun Livingston, Harrison Barnes, Brandon Rush, Justin Holiday, and even Ognjen Kuzmic. Merry Christmas Ron Adams! Merry Freaking Christmas!

First Curry goes all Magic with the nifty fast break dishes against the Lakers, then he goes all Stockton with the pass first mentality against the Jazz. What's next? All Iverson against Philly? All GP against OKC? All D-Ros-- nevermind...
